How to Make an Authentic Colombian EmpanadasColombian empanadas are a popular and traditional dish that can be found in most Latin American countries. They are traditionally made by baking them in the oven or frying them on the stove top.The dough for these empanadas is made with coconut milk, water, ground white corn, salt and flour. The filling is typically made of beef or chicken that is seasoned with garlic, oregano and cumin. The dough is then rolled into balls and filled with the meat mixture before being fried or baked until golden brown.Empanada dough is best when it has been chilled in the refrigerator for at least an hour before rolling it out to make it easier to shape into a ball.
